It was clear out to the SE. They took off just before we were going to.

(and those wusses in MEL couldn't see anybody - how about Dick's procedural separation you guys?! )

Easy CB. You have GPSRNAV so your a/c is 14nm wide and 20nm long. If say you divert 30nm off track, it's now 44nm wide and 10 minutes long. Interntional a/c coming the other way doing the same is 58nm wide and 10 minutes long. End result, you stay low, inbound stays high, everybody complains .

Serious if stupid question, is the red and black striped arc on your last pic the windshear warning?

Once again The Worst Australian stole the show with the picture in yesterday's edition with a woman holding "golf ball-sized" hail. Errrr, unless she's Aaron Sandilands mother, they're FCUKIN marble-sized hailstones.

I had a couple of pictures in there - all were not bad, but I agree on your comment though.

Check out Perth Now | Breaking News from Perth and Western Australia | PerthNow they still have alot of pictures of the storm, several of mine.
